Abstract

The sequential probability ratio test (SPRT) chart is a desirable tool for monitoring manufacturing processes due to its high effectiveness. It is especially suitable for applications where testing is very expensive or destructive, such as the automobile airbags test and unaxial tensile test. This article proposes a design algorithm for the SPRT chart in which the reference value (γ) of the SPRT chart is optimized. The design algorithm increases the overall effectiveness of the SPRT chart by more than 10% on average. Moreover, the improvement in detection effectiveness is achieved without any additional difficulty in implementation. A design table is also provided to facilitate quality engineers to design the SPRT chart.
